  "For families that are still trying to decide (how to raise their children), it's particularly challenging this year because they ask themselves, 'How do we keep that integrity about individual holidays when we are ambivalent ourselves about what we are going to observe?"' said Phyllis Adler, director of Stepping Stones to a Jewish Me, a Denver group that urges interfaith couples to raise their kids Jewish.

  Designed for unaffiliated interfaith families who don't identify with one particular religion, the program focuses on Jewish life, traditions and history while remaining sensitive to other heritages, says Phyllis Adler, director of the Denver Stepping Stones program.
  
  At age 16, it was just what Schroeder needed to realize that she wanted to become part of the Jewish community.
  
  Because of its past success, the program has recently expanded into Boulder, Colo., where it will be a national prototype for other cities that are interested in adopting the Stepping Stones model.All of the material collected over the years in Denver finally will be organized into a detailed package cities can use as a guideline for their own Stepping Stones program.
  
  Boulder, in effect, is the launching pad.
  
  "The goal is to give kids and their families an opportunity to explore the possibilities of Judaism," Adler says."Our bias is that we believe it's important to have kids grounded in one (religion) ... that it's very difficult to raise a child in two traditions.
  
  "Our goal is to help parents make an informed decision about that process."
  
  Stepping Stones was developed by Congregation Emanuel in Denver in 1985 after an Allied Jewish Federation of Denver demographic study found that roughly 40 percent of couples ages 30-39 and 66 percent of couples ages 18-29 were in interfaith marriages.
